It's been a very upsetting and shitty day but, hey, let's try and distract ourselves by reading about a Sonic the Hedgehog comic book. And it's a pretty good one too! It's my thoughts on the second half of Ian Flynn's "Order from Chaos."
Today, it was also announced that the still developing Sonic movie has moved from Sony to Paramount. I'm seeing a lot of people in the fandom excited for this. I guess there's this perception - because of the e-mail leaks and the Amazing Spider-man fiasco - that Sony is run by completely incompetent people. But I'm not sure Paramount is much better. This is a studio who pinned their entire future on a Transformers cinematic universe, just as the public was starting to loose interest in the series. (If the lackluster performance of the most recent one is any indication.) This is the studio that had five years to make a new Friday the 13th film, which they used to crank out every twelve months, and still couldn't get their shit together in time, even though it's the easiest premise in the world.
Honestly, I'm still at the same place I've always been with the idea of a Sonic movie: I hope it's just base-level decent and not a complete atrocity. Glad Tim Miller is still on-board, as he inspires at least a little bit of confidence.
If it's not already apparent, I write my Hedgehogs Can't Swim reviews months in advance. In my most recent update, wherein I discuss issue 7 of Archie's "Sonic X" series, I express hope that the series will continue in its quirky direction, develop its own mythology, and continue to generously pepper itself with references to classic horror movies. This, uh, didn't come to past. Disappointment is forthcoming. Anyway, relive that time of innocence by clicking the goddamn link.
